Hey, sorry to resurrect, but I was wondering if anybody knows whether 1M parts would be a direct retrofit if I get both the bumper and the fenders. It seems like the prices for the 1M body panels are surprisingly reasonable, and I need some body work anyway... would I be able to slap on the fenders and bumpers directly or would it require some modification?

you will be able to swap the front end directly, the rear fenders are a lot more work, due to beeing welded on rather than screwed.
Other than that a 1m front end without the rear would look stupid due to the widened wheel arches.
